<P align=left><FONT size=2>I like the setup in the March Soybean; I am going to
day trade it like I did on Monday. If the day session opens above Monday's Low
and starts to trade higher then I will place a Sell Stop just below Monday's Low
... I give up some profit potential trading this way, but I like to sell or go
with confirmed or continued weakness. I want this trade to work immediately; if
it does not then I will be stopped out with about a 4 cent loss ... this trade
also applies to January Soybean. See charts below.</FONT>

The best book I have found to unlearn basic human nature is MINDTRAPS
UNLOCKING THE KEY TO INVESTMENT SUCCESS By Roland Barach. Before reading the
book it did not occur to me that I needed to shift my perspective 180
degrees to be successful. After reading it I began to realize why I was
struggling to making any money in my investing persist. It lists 88
psychological snares or Mindtraps that we must unlearn to become successful
in this business. The ISBN is 0-935219-07-2. Happy trading,
